Red Headed Girls.
WHY DOES A WHITE HORSE APPEAR
WHEN THEY ARE SEEM

MI L Dues n w llOhDAS NJ %fN~--
WHEN THEY ARE SEEM
The discussion over the alleged
simultaneous appearance upon the
streets of white horses and red
headed girls has reached a point IN
the west that reminds one of the
days of 13, IA and 10 puzzle, the
chestnut bell and the "punch con-
ductorD song. The superstition is
neatly hit off by Kansas paper,
as follows:
"Whoever says so is a liar"
roared a choleric old gentleman
from Dexter one morning, standing
in front OF the city ball. "These
stories are got up to play upon the
credulity of the country people,
I'm getting tired. Look there
now, there's a red headed girl,
red headed till you can't
rest. Where's any white horse2
Just as easy as rollin' off a log to
prove the original of the fad a liar.
| don't believe there's a white
horse within a mile."
But CHANGING to gaze in the
direction of the high school hearse
was seen, to which not one, but two
milk white steeds we're hitched.
The Dexter man tainted. 10 this
NAV be added that columns have
been written explanatory of the
white horse coincidence without
satisfying the public.
Possibly the reason why when a
red headed girl appears on the
street a white horse soon makes his
appearance will have to be sought
for in history. This suggestion is
thrown out for what it is worth
Away back 10 the early Greek and
Egyptian days red headed girls
were very justly priced above all
the members of the sex, Men
fought, bled and died for their
smiles, and they were quite the
rage. Cleopatra herself, we are
told, was the possessor of an au'
burn head, and Helen OF Troy,

in the transmigratiOn of souls was
then prevalent, based upon reasons
now lost to philosophy, and con-
spicuously brave men killed in
battle took the forms, under the
smiles OF Jupiter, of white horses
We can imagine, then, that when
gallant knights went forth to battle
after passionate adiaus to their au-
burn headed Helens and Cleopa.

THE THEORY OF A PROTECTIVE TARIFF.

If all nations had the same kind
of government, the same character
of population, and the same sort
of labor, and paid to these laborers
the same compensation, free trade
might be insisted upon with very
different force from what 1t can be
with the situation as it is. The
first object OF protection IS to over
come an inequality of conditions.
The inequality that now chiefly oc'
casions its necessity is in the matter
of wages paid for labor. The
question, after all, is whether or
not it is worth anything to the
American people to have our own
resources developed, to have manu-
featuring establishments on every
hand throughout the country, to
have the artisans and mechanics
who supply our necessities drawn
from our own ranks, and to have
produced IN our midst and by our
own hands everything necessary to
enable us as a nation to provide for
our wants, both IN peace and IN
war. Give the American people a
chance and they will Outstrip all
the world in manufactures, as in
everything else. Universal educa-
ton, the responsibility of citizen
ship and civil and political equal
ity, all alike combine to make our
people intelligent, enterprlslng, In
ventlve, self.reliant and progress
I've. The result is the We can de-
wise better facilities and invent
better machinery, produce the most
skilled and ingenious workers, and
ultimately successfully challenge
all the world to competition with
us, even should tho rest of the
world continue to stand where 1t is.
But the rest of the world will not
stand still. The battle we are
fighting is not and has not been for
us alone. 1t has been and is for
all humanity. BY refusing to let
our labor down to the condition of
labor in other countries we have
not only done a good thing for our
people, but for humanity all the
world over. From every country
the people are looking to us, and
in every land they are struggling
to lit themselves to our plane. AS
a result they have republic IN
France, universal manhood suffrage
in Germany, and by-and.by they
will have Home Rule in Ireland,
and great advancement for the
masses in every civilized country
of the globe. Let us continue to
hold up the standard. We have
truly a great country. This WISE
policy has made it snch. We have
60,0O0,000 of people now, and shall
have hundreds OF million who are
coming with the swift-hee ting year'
of time. Let us do our duty will
the same patriotism, zeal and fidel
ity that have been displayed in thu

Mr., BlailG'S AnGTiCaliSIl.
lrrnm the CHICAGO Inter Ocean.l ]

IFrom the Chicago Inter ocean,
Whatever the cause of Mr.
Blaine's weakness may be, what
ever may have conspired or befall'
en- to accomplish his defeat IN 1884,
the cause OF his uudiminlshed pop
uIarity is plain enough-it is his
Americanism. AS the advocate OF
the American system of Protection
to everything that is American
against undue competition with
foreign products or undue interfer'
ence at the hands OF foreign agents
he is the direct and worthy success
sor of Henry Clay. He is the most
brilliant and pertinacious exponent
of the American idea. In his let
Ter of acceptance he spoke thus OF
the Protective tariff
"The Republican party is not con-
tending for the permanency oil any
particular statute. The issue be-
tween the two parties does not have
reference to any specific law. It's
tar broader and deeper. ltinvolves
a principle of wide application and
benefcent influence against a theo-
ry which we believe to be unsound
in conception and inevitable hurt
full in practice. In the many tarlb
revisions which have been necessa'
~ for the past twenty-three years,
or which may hereafter become nee
essary, the Republican party has
maintained and will maintain the
policy of Protection to American
industry, while our opponents IN
sist on a revision which practically
destroys that policy. The issue IS
thus distinct, we'll defined, and un-
avoidable. = 4 The over
throw of the Protective policy
means a large and permanent re-
duction in the wages of the Ameri-
can labOrer, besides involving the
loss OF vast amounts of American
capital invested in manufacturing
enterprises"
The past candidacy of Mr.. Blaine
did, as any future candidacy of his
will, involve the supremacy OF the
doctrine of America for Americans
in its widest as we'll as in its strict
est Interpretation. The conversion
of American raw material into man
ufactured goods for American con-
sumption by the labor of American
hands and the investment Of Amer.
lean capital in American enter
prises that will build up and
strengthen the American nation
will be the Alpha and Omega Of
every policy which Mr.. Blaine may
aspirOSa5y administer. He is not of
those <,lesire that the iron of
Alabama and Pennsylvania shall
either lie idle in the earth or be
to Europe for manufacture,
thence to be returned as domestic,
mechanical, or agricultural imple-
ments whose manufacture has en-
riched a foreign country. He is
not of those who wish to return to
the primitive policy of swapping
American wool or cotton tor Eng
lish cloths OF muslins. He is the
plumed knight of the order of
American industry.

A Farmer FlG0CGd.

"G00d morning, MI. Moore. Oan
you tell me where ] can buy a
thoroughbred Durham bull y was
the way buncO man approached
William V. Moore, a well to do
farmer, residing near Cherry Hill,
on one of the principal streets of
Elkton, Nd, on Thursday morning
las;, during the fair. After a short
conversation about Durham aud
other thoroughbred stock, bunco
man No. 2 appeared. He wanted
to buy a farm, with which Mr.
Moore, who is somewhat advanced
in years, probably upwards of sew
enty, offered to furnish him. After
further conversation Mr.. Moore and
one of the men got in Mr.. MoOre's
carriage aud went to his farm,
which, upon inspection, did not
suit the would be purchaser. The
twain returned to the fair in the
afternoon. Mr.. Moore's new found
friends found him on the fair
grounds Friday morning, and after
enticing him into their den showed
him a package of what they called
"California tea," and induced him
to buy it, making him believe it
was the best tea he ever saw. The
elder bunco man, who represented
himself as the uncle Of the younger
one, said the others father had
made fortune selling the tea, aud
they wished Mr.. Moore to take the
agency for the sale of it in that
county, and made him believe there
was millions IN it. Just then the
younger man called the others at
tention to the fact that Mr.. Moore
had drawn prize of FIVE dollars
with the tea he bad purchased,
which was tend cred to him, but
before lie bad time to put it in his
pocket, the fellow said he had
made a mistake and that Mr..
Moore was entitled to ten dollars,
which they gave him. After further
conversation Mr.. Moore was in.
duced to take the agency for the
sale of the tea, and as a prelimi-
nary to the closing OF the contract,
he was required to show 81 800 as
an evidence of his ability to pay
for the tea which might be con-
signed to him. Thereupon Mr.
Moore and the nephew went to the
Elkton National Bank for the pur.
pose of drawing the required
amount. The officers OF the bank
cautioned him against taking the
money to the fair grounds, but he
failed to heed their advice and
went back to the bunco den, where
he was induced TO stake his whole
pile on the game. Whether he
won or lost makes little difference,
for no sooner wasthe money stake'l
than the Younger swindler remark
ed that Mr.. Moore had lost, and
grabbing the money, disappeared
and has not been seen since. The
other fellow cOnsoled their victim
by telling him that he would tel
9 the fellows father about the matter
and he would refund the money
Mr.. Moore went to get his dinner
when he suddenly seemed to have
realized the fact that he had beer
swindled, returned and told the

THE LIVING INHABITANTS OF CAVERhS,

The living inhabitants OF caverns
those which make these regions
of continuous darkness their abid-
ing.places-are numerous and OF
the greatest interest to the natural
list. Of the several hundred spec
les known to students, by far the
greater part belong to the group OF
articulated ANIMALS, insects, and
crustaceans, these being the forms
which, of all animals, are the most
varied in structure and best suited
for the odd chances Of life which
the caverns afford. AS the reader
we'll knows, the great problem now
before science is to determine how
far the shapes Of living creatures
are determined by the circum'
stances of the world about them,
and how far this determination has
been brought about through a pro.
cess of selection, in natural way,
of those varieties which have some
accidental special fitness for the
conditions in which they live.
Cavern animals afford us capital
bit of evidence toward the solution
of this problem. The prevailing
close affinity of their forms with
those which live in the upper world
of sunshine and changing seasons
shows beyond a question that they
are all derived from similar forms
which once dwelt in the ordinary
conditions Of animal life. What,
then, are the effects arising from
this complete change in the Circum.
stances of these underground crea'
turesf The facts are perplexing
in their variety, and by no means
we'll worked out, but the following
points seem to be we'll established,
viz: There is a manifest tendency
of all gayly colorcd forms to lose
their hues in the caverns, and to
become Ofan even color. This may
be explained by the simple absence
of sunshine, and on it no conclu-
slons can be based. The changes
of the structural parts are of more
Importance; these, as might be ex
pected, relate mainly to the organs
of sense. The eyes show an evil
dent tendency in all the groups to
fade away. In the characteristic
cavern fishes they have entirely
disappeared, the whole structure
which serves for vision being no
longer produced. In the cray
fishes we may observe a certain
gradation. Some species which
abound in caverns are provided
with eyes; others have them pres.
ent, but so imperfect that they
cannot serve as visual organs; yet
others want them altogether. One
species ofpseudo. scorpion, as shown
by Professor Hagan, has in the
outer world four eyes, while in
the caves it has been found with
two eyes, and others in an entirely
eyeless condition. Some caverns
beetles have the males with eyes,
while the females are quite without
them. AS a whole, the cavern
forms exhibit a singular tendency
of the visual organs, not only to
lose their functions, but also to
disappear as bOdy-parts. At the
same time there is au equal, oreven
more general, development of the
antenne and other organs of touch
these parts become considerably
heightened, and apparently OF
greater sensitiveness, change
which is of manifest advantage to
the individually. s. Shdler, IN
